Friends in Fiji

...You will know that the much broadcast PR of the signing turned out to be
another
farce. The army are so so angry. On the other side of it I find it so
strange that GS is able to sign and accord, with the lofty title of the
"Muanikau Accord", given that he is a terrorist, has committed treason
and
is still (5 and a half weeks later) holding 31 hostages at gun point. Is
this the way to treat thugs - giving them status and making them appear to
have legitimacy for what they have done.

We do not hold our breath any more and we just have to learn to live with
the uncertainty. pat is very emotionally low at the moment and you will know
what that means. Today, I hope to go and play a game of tennis as it appears
that the rain, (those cold cold downpours of many days duration that affect
Suva) has somewhat abated and we might be able to indulge in some outdoor
activities.
